The Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre (VCCC) and Monash Partners Comprehensive Cancer Consortium (MPCCC) have developed the Victorian COVID-19 Cancer Network (VCCN), a collaboration platform to provide assistance and share documentation generally related to the care of patients with cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic.

VCCN members must read and agree to the Terms & Conditions, and agree to independently verify the accuracy, credibility, validity and reliability of any information, document, recommendation, opinion, statement or otherwise contained on the VCCN. Members agree that the VCCC and MPCCC are not responsible for any outcome or result arising whatsoever from the information provided.

Members agree to comply with the requirements of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Health Records Act 2001 (Vic) and must not disclose any Personal Information of another with respect to information shared on the VCCN and in connection with this Agreement except to the extent that such disclosure would not contravene any applicable Privacy Law. Members should consider their own circumstances and are encouraged to consider or seek professional advice on the matters in this Agreement and as published on the VCCN.

Information for patients, carers and the community

A dedicated VCCN expert group led by Cancer Council Victoria has been charged with ensuring information is shared with patients, carers and the community during this time of increased concern and stress.
